Jose Mourinho is ready to off-load Chris Smalling during the transfer window

The 22-year-old cost Napoli just £5million when he moved to the Serie A club in 2015, but has already been rewarded with a new deal in that time as the result of his impact on the side.

Given he is tied to the club for the next four years, Napoli know they can command a hefty asking price, and it would take a bid of £25m before flamboyant owner Aurelio De Laurentiis would be tempted to do business.

Mourinho has decided neither Smalling or Darmian are part of his long-term plans after giving them six months to prove themselves.
